ROAD TRIP!!!

I am excited. I love road trips. I love my scooter. I love Victoria. Put those three things together, and I’m so excited I could just feel only the slightest bit of annoyance at the $140 round trip BC Ferries price tag!

Seriously, though. I am really looking forward to this. It’s overcast at the moment, but that actually makes for good scooting – not too hot and no glaring sun to avoid. The forecast also calls for a bit of rain, but I will not melt and it’s supposed to be such a small amount that I will deal with it. Hooray! ROAD TRIP!

I tried really hard to pack modestly for this trip, but I still think I’m over packed. Most of the trouble seems to come from my toiletries – it takes a lot of product to be this fabulous. I also truly enjoy being clean. Another part of the problem is my enormous portable electronic addiction – power supplies take up room. Not very much room, but room nonetheless. Add in the unavoidable fact that fat girl clothes just plain take up more room than skinny girl clothes, and suddenly my backpack looks as though I may need a donkey or sherpa to accompany me up the Himalayas. It would be easier if I was a boy, but I have extreme aversions to wearing the same clothes more than one day.

Ed’s out of the shower, so we’re that much closer to being on the road. See you from whatever unsecure wireless signal I can pick up from my mom’s basement until we can get to the free! wireless! internet! from the hotel.

Yay!
